"The petrol boat picked up signals of a ship in distress."

• "Distress" is a noun that refers to a state of danger or emergency.

• "Distressed" is an adjective, but it doesn’t fit the grammatical structure of the sentence.

• "Distressing" is a present participle/adjective that refers to something causing distress, but here we need the noun "distress".

Explanation

"As it was a minor offence, the traffic policeman let him off with a warning."

• "Offence" (noun) means a violation or a wrongdoing, especially of a law or rule.

• The sentence is talking about a small violation, so "minor offence" is the correct phrase.

Explanation

"Wise people do not spend their money foolishly."

• "Wise" is an adjective describing people.

• We use adjectives before nouns (e.g., wise people).

• "Wisely" is an adverb, and "wisdom" is a noun — both do not fit here.

Explanation

"The gift was bought for her."

"For" is used to indicate the recipient of the gift or action.

The gift was bought from her.

The correct preposition is "from" when indicating the source or seller.

So, the sentence becomes: "The gift was bought from her."

The gift was bought by her.

The correct preposition is "by" when indicating the agent performing an action (who bought the gift).

So, the sentence becomes: "The gift was bought by her."

Explanation

"An honest person always speaks the truth."

• "Truth" is a noun and is the correct object of the verb "speaks".
